Combining Amines and 3-(2-Pyridyl)-[1,2,3]Triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine: An Easy Access to New Functional Polynitrogenated Ligands

Triazolopyridine-pyridine amine ligands are easily obtained by means of either thermal- or copper(II)-mediated reactions. Starting from a readily accessible iodo derivative of triazolopyridine-pyridine and different amines, this new family of compounds combines aromatic and aliphatic nitrogen atoms with promising coordinating properties. Furthermore, chemical derivatization of a new triazolopyridine-pyridine diamine compound, N1-[6-([1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-3-yl)pyridin-2-yl]ethan-1,2-diamine, allows the preparation of several remote-pyridine-containing ligands.

Water molecules insert into N—H...Cl—M hydrogen bonds while M—Cl...X—C halogen bonds remain intact in dihydrates of halopyridinium hexachloroplatinates

The crystal structures of the 3-halopyridinium hexachloroplatinate(IV) dihydrates (HPyX-3)2[PtCl6]·2H2O [(1), X = Br; (2a), (2b), X = I] comprise networks in which the molecular components are linked via N—H...O and O—H...Cl—Pt hydrogen bonds and Pt—Cl...X—C halogen bonds (X = Br, I). The iodo derivative has been isolated in two polymorphic forms. Of particular interest to the understanding of the utility of the hydrogen bonds and M—X...X′—C halogen bonds that propagate the networks in anhydrous salts of this type is that the water molecules insert exclusively into the putative N—H...Cl—Pt hydrogen bonds, while the Pt—Cl...X′—C halogen bonds remain undisrupted by the presence of water molecules.

Das 2-Halogen-5,6-benzo-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinan-4-on-Ringsystem / The 2-Halogeno-5,6-benzo-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinan-4-one Ring System

The reaction of salicylic acid with phosphorus trichloride furnished the previously known 2-chloro-5,6-benzo-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinan-4-one heterocycle 1 which was unambiguously characterized, for the first time, by NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The fluorine and bromine analogues of 1, 2 and 3 were synthesized from 1, using exchange reactions. The iodo derivative, 4, owing to its instability, could be identified only in the reaction mixture by 1H and 31P NMR spectroscopy. The amine derivatives 5-8 were obtained from 1 using standard exchange reactions, either with silylated amines or with secondary amines in the presence of base. There was no evidence by 1H NMR spectroscopy for intramolecular Me2N→P coordination in 6. The 31P NMR investigation of 7 revealed the presence of two rotational isomers, presumably as a result of steric hindrance at the P–N bond by the methyl substituent of the piperidine group. The reaction of 6 with methyl iodide led to methylation at the nitrogen atom of the Me2N group, producing the ammonium iodide, 9. The reactions of 5,6 and 8 with norbornadiene tetracarbonyl molybdenum failed to furnish isolable products.
